More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
A man must always study, but he must not always go to school: what a contemptible thing is an old abecedarian!
Michel de Montaigne
If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they artialize nature.
Michel de Montaigne
I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
Michel de Montaigne
We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.
Michel de Montaigne
Marriage, a market which has nothing free but the entrance.
Michel de Montaigne
Take care that old age does not wrinkle your spirit even more than your face.
Michel de Montaigne
It is the part of cowardice, not of courage, to go and crouch in a hole under a massive tomb, to avoid the blows of fortune.
Michel de Montaigne
A foreign war is a lot milder than a civil war.
Michel de Montaigne
Scratching is one of nature's sweetest gratifications, and nearest at hand.
Michel de Montaigne
Diogenes was asked what wine he liked best and he answered as I would have done when he said, Somebody else's.
Michel de Montaigne
The worth of the mind consisteth not in going high, but in marching orderly.
Michel de Montaigne
Every man bears the whole stamp of the human condition.
Michel de Montaigne
The ceaseless labour of your life is to build the house of death.
Michel de Montaigne
There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.
Michel de Montaigne
Marriage can be compared to a cage: birds outside it despair to enter, and birds within, to escape.
Michel de Montaigne
I consider it equal injustice to set our heart against natural pleasures and to set our heart too much on them. We should neither pursue them, nor flee them we should accept them.
Michel de Montaigne
A liar would be brave toward God, while he is a coward toward men for a lie faces God, and shrinks from man.
Michel de Montaigne
Petty vexations may at times be petty, but still they are vexations. The smallest and most inconsiderable annoyances are the most piercing. As small letters weary the eye most, so the smallest affairs disturb us most.
Michel de Montaigne
There is a huge gulf between the man who follows the conventions and laws of his country and the man who sets out to regiment them and to change them.
Michel de Montaigne
I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.
Michel de Montaigne
